• An unordered list is created with the

<ul> tag. <ul> tag also is a two sided tag
and closed with </ul> tag.

Numbered (Ordered) Lists

IMD311 – Introduction to Web Content Management & Design


• An ordered list is a numbered list. An
ordered list can be used whenever a list
requires sequence.
• Let's assume we want to create an

MOHAMAD RAHIMI MOHAMAD ROSMAN | http://rahimi.uitm.edu.my


ordered list that displays your favorites
vacation places, the most favorites is listed
first and the next most important is listed
second, and so on.
• To create such list, we would use an
ordered list as:

Numbered (Ordered) Lists

IMD311 – Introduction to Web Content Management & Design


• The <ol> tag starts an ordered list. The
<ol> tag is a two-sided tag, which means
that it also requires a closing tag </ol>.
• The </ol> tag instructs the browser that

MOHAMAD RAHIMI MOHAMAD ROSMAN | http://rahimi.uitm.edu.my


the ordered list has ended.
• The <li> tag is used to list each item in the
list.
• The <li> tag is also a two-sided tag.
• Thus each item that needs to be placed in
a list, should be placed inside the <li> and
</li> tag

Changing the list value for an

IMD311 – Introduction to Web Content Management & Design
ordered list
• With the start attribute you can set the value
of the first element in the list.
• For example, if you wanted to start your list
with the number 5, set the start attribute to 5

MOHAMAD RAHIMI MOHAMAD ROSMAN | http://rahimi.uitm.edu.my


and the type attribute to 1, if necessary.
• You can also use the start attribute to change
the list value of the first element for
alphabetical or Roman numerical values.
• If, for example, you wanted to start your
ordered list with the letter C, set the type
attribute to A and the start attribute to 3.

Custom Markers

IMD311 – Introduction to Web Content Management & Design


• If you want your own unique markers you
can easily use your own image.
• You should know that in order for the
image to be visible, the image must be

MOHAMAD RAHIMI MOHAMAD ROSMAN | http://rahimi.uitm.edu.my


uploaded to the Internet (or within your
folder), either to your own domain, to
your blog or to one of the free picture
hosting sites.
• Markers are approximately 15 x 15 pixels
in size by default
WEB.DESIGN
Custom Markers

IMD311 – Introduction to Web Content Management & Design


• If your marker image is larger than the
‘default size’, some browsers will overlap
them.
• In the code, there should be no spaces

MOHAMAD RAHIMI MOHAMAD ROSMAN | http://rahimi.uitm.edu.my


between url and the opening ( ).
• You should use either relative or absolute
URLs for the marker location.
• To use custom marker, you must add a
style attribute to the <li> tag:

whole list or for only special lines of the
list.

How to Control Where Markers

WEB.DESIGN
IMD311 – Introduction to Web Content Management & Design
Hang
• By default all lists are indented from the
left margin.
• However, you can have your markers
either begin halfway to the right of the

MOHAMAD RAHIMI MOHAMAD ROSMAN | http://rahimi.uitm.edu.my


starting point or flush with the rest of the
text.
• This last ‘hang’ is referred to as ‘inside’. To
control where your markers hang, you will
need to include this bit of code for the
desired list or list item:
WEB.DESIGN
IMD311 – Introduction to Web Content Management & Design
• Place in the above tag denotes the
position.
• If you want the markers to begin

MOHAMAD RAHIMI MOHAMAD ROSMAN | http://rahimi.uitm.edu.my


halfway to the right of the starting
point, you would use ‘inside‘ for place.
• However, if you wanted the markers to
display to the left of the list item text
you would use ‘outside’ (default).
